Palm Studies

La vida se esconde en los lugares mas insólitos, o incluso en otros seres vivos.
Una palmera es una palmera, solamente si dejamos de proponernos mirar mas allá de sus tronco o de sus ramas. La Palma Real, símbolo por excelencia de los hoteles de lujo del Caribe languidece en una hermosura casi aséptica alejada de su medio natural, relegada a un simple elemento de decoración paisajístico.
Las Palmas Reales salvajes acumulan en cambio vida a su alrededor y sobre si mismas, creando sus partituras de color únicas e identitarias. Cada árbol se convierte así en una creación única y nos confronta con el verdadero sentido de la existencia.

Life is hidden in the most unusual places, or even in other living beings.
A palm is a palm tree, only if we stop ourselves to propose to look beyond its trunk or branches. The Royal Palm (Roystonea), the quintessential symbol of luxury hotels in the Caribbean, languishes in a nearly sterile beauty , away from his environment and relegated to a mere decorative element landscape.
The Royal Palms in the wild instead accumulate wild life around them and on themselves, creating their unique color scores and identity. Each tree thus become a unique creation and confronts us with the true meaning of life.
